DIY Tutorial: Paint Swatch Chandlier

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

My heart goes pitter patter for this do-it-yourself chandelier -- a perfect addition to your baby shower decor and/or a present for the baby nursery. Created by Rhi of Hey Gorgeous (an oh-so-gorgeous blog) and beautifully photographed by Jenna McKenzie Photography, this tutorial is a keeper! Head on down to your local hardware store and start swiping some paint swatches. FYI... you'll need a lot!

From Rhi... I have to admit guys, that ‘borrowing’ the paint swatches for this little project wasn’t the easiest thing to do. I may have ran, yeah like actually ran, out of Lowes the third time I took a trip there to make sure I had enough coloured swatches for my chandelier (to the staff at Lowes, I am entirely sorry for stealing all but one of the Pink Shell paint swatches). But in the end I think my theif-ery was well worth it because this little ombre paint chip chandelier turned out so sweet. Big thanks to Jenna for taking the pretty pictures of everything for me.
